The problem with this trip was you only saw the town of comp for about 45 minutes and then had to board the boat for two hours which is way too long especially in the winter months! From the description I thought we would have way more time to explore which just wasn’t the case. Bellagio was a great village but you had more time there and I took no time to see the whole village! Overall it just was too much time in the bus and cost and not enough time to actually explore!

Andrea was a great host! The trip was easy to follow. The place is beautiful and worth the time if you coming for few a days .

The scenic boat trip from Como to Bellagio was undoubtedly the highlight of the day, culminating in a fantastic lunch in Bellagio. But we did enjoy our brief stop in Como, with its magnificent cathedral, as well as shopping in Bellagio, where there were some quite exclusive shops with leather and silk goods. Very tempting! On the drive back to Milan, we took the scenic route, including spectacular views of Lake Como from the heights above. All in all, a wonderful day out.

It was a drizzly and foggy day and that really impacted our ability to enjoy this tour. It was a small group (11) and a nice bus (although we had a 45 minute stop in order for a mechanic to come and do something to fix the an overheating problem). Our guide, Francesco, was very friendly, did a good job of taking care of us, and giving us all of the important information. Unfortuantely, his microphone kept shorting out, so he was restricted to talking to us when we were together. I was disappointed in the city of Como and it is not an important part of the day. The boat ride was fine, but it was tough to see a lot and take in the great views because of the fog and rain. We did get to see George and Amal Clooney's villa; Richard Branson's villa, and the villa where Casino Royale and one of the Star Wars movies were filmed. Bellagio was lovely and a great place to take in the views, the scene, do some shopping, and grab lunch. Unfortunately, the scenic stops on the ride back, were fogged in. I did enjoy the Small Santa Maria church with all of the bicycle memorabilia. It was different and memorable. While the weather was an issue, I would recommend a different itinerary, since there is not much to do and see in town of Como.

This was the most disappointing tour, the guide told us nothing on the hour drive to the ferry. Maybe some history of Milan, Italy , anything. Total silence. As instructed, we followed her like mice behind her red flag, to where we where to meet at certain times. That is all that she spoke. Upon boarding the ferry, that was not the “boat” expected, we all scattered to find a seat, since we where on board with other tour groups. We where lucky to get a seat outside and up top. As we found out, this was literally just a ferry ride, no “tour” guide info. Then we stopped at many other ports and picked up more people! The last hour was spent standing up and down to see anything because so many people where on board, they just stood in front of our seats, sat and stood on the stairs. No reasoning with them, not even the Italian speaking people could get through to them that we paid to “sight see” not see other people’s backs. After we arrived back on land, we searched for the guide. We had the head sets, but she gave no word as to where to find her. Finally as a group we moved on to other sights, with no info given on what we where seeing. Just “ here is a nice view” And to add to the frustration, we got into Sunday traffic, cars as far as you could see. Needless to say we where an hour late arriving back. The only good thing about this trip was seeing some homes from the water .

Out tour guide Anna was more interested in talking to the driver and not the clients. She shared the bare minimum of info and seemed to be glad to dump us in towns and run. The PA system was basically inaudible except for the return when the driver chatted the entire time with Anna and conversation was on the speaker. The longest conversation that Anna had with us was at the end, telling us how hard it was to make a living in Milan. Why didn’t she just ask straight out for a tip?

Great experience for my mother..she took the tour alone, and she really love it! She took the Spanish version so she can really understand everything about Como.

Heather_T

The guide was fun & very thorough & clear in his direction. Bella goo was the gem of this tour! Such a lovely town. The only negative was that we stopped at every port along the way to pick up more passengers like a ferry service & the boat ended up so crowded no one could move & the views were completely blocked by standing passengers. It very much ruined the experience.

A wonderful experience visiting Como and Bellagio with a breathtaking Lake Cuomo cruise. Value and pleasure worthy of cost. Eduardo was a terrific 5 star host and guide. Many thanks!

None of this is the tour ‘s fault but Como and Bellagio are overhyped and too touristy. The cruise was hot and crowded, again not the tour companies fault by any stretch of the imagination.
